Thai Brothers

I thought I left all my brothers in America! But now I find I have at least 9 more! I love teaching the guys at The Shelter. They're such....BOYS!!:) Last week I handed out some Smarties to them and caught two of the guys fighting over the last one, so I laughingly suggested they cut it in half. Wouldn't you know it, they broke it in two pieces and shared it.:)

They are simply FUN! And excited to be learning English. And sometimes they all talk at once and I have no idea how to get their attention again. But once they actually realize I am trying to talk, they quickly hush each other up.

There are now 9 guys living at The Shelter. The newest addition to my class is named O. He has actually been living there for some time but had a job, so was never able to be a part of the class. Now he is on staff and therefore is able to participate. Last week a new guy came; he calls himself by a farang name, Johnnie. That's easy enough for me to remember. They like to give me a hard time because I can never keep their names straight. And I keep telling them I am "keyloom".:)

Below is the picture of the whole group. What a bunch!:)

Wow, Sharon - it's been way too long since I came by your blog, and oh, I could comment on so many things! Such a different world than Plain City, Ohio. : ) God bless you as you pour your days into all these relationships!
